Welcome!
Ingersoll Paper Box as we know it today started out in 1922 as Ingersoll Cone and Paper Box. Robert,my grandfather and general manager, along with a handful of silent partners, started a business that has remained in my family over four generations for more than eighty years. Until the early 1930’s,we made ice cream cones along with paper boxes and people have told me that during the depression the factory handed out broken cones – a real treat when money, food and jobs were scarce. Ron,my father, joined the company and worked his entire life at IPB but for a few years when he was in the Air Force during World War II.
I’m sure Robert and Ron would be fascinated with the changes that have taken place at Ingersoll Paper Box over the years.As much as business has changed, I think the demands in 1922 compared to those in the 21st century would all be relative to the time. Back then a rush order was a rush order just as it is today and being First To Market was no less important than it is now. Our reputation as a trusted supplier and our business itself have grown through the success of our customers.We know, just as they did in 1922, that our customer is depending on us.
Eighty years later,we find ourselves re-launching a new and improved Ingersoll Paper Box website! We hope that by the time you've finished browsing through the site, you'll have a good idea of what Ingersoll Paper Box is all about. I invite you to drop us a line and let us know what you think!
